The 433-metre structure has a 126-metre central span that lifts to a height of 53 metres in just 11 minutes to allow ships to enter. The bridge showcases VINCI Construction’s wide-ranging expertise in foundations, mechanical engineering, marine works and civil engineering.

An architectural feat, the Jacques Chaban-Delmas bridge is a fine example of modern technical know-how Its graceful shape can be seen as a continuation of the quays and fits in perfectly with its surroundings. The bridge is a very successful combination of technological prowess and aesthetics. It confers a very welcome modern touch to the city’s urban development.

To connect the historic centre of Bordeaux on the left bank of the river with the business and residential neighbourhoods on the right bank without preventing cruise ships from reaching the Port de la Lune dock, the city opted to build a lift bridge.
